Enrolling iPads through ABM with Jamf
I have been tearing my hair out trying to do things the right way! I have 32 ipads to be used in schools for music. My organisation is a music service provider, not a school so we were told to go down the Apple Business Manager route.
A week later I'm in but then I see I need either a Reseller ID or Apple Customer ID to enrol the devices (why not just a serial number!). I ring the most recent reseller for 16 devices who gives me a number that 'cannot be found' when I try to use it. I assume the reseller has not signed up to these services.
The other 16 have apparently come from a reseller who went out of business a year ago so I have no number.
I have also contacted 3 resellers for Jamf products and nobody gets back to me!. Apple say go through Configurator.
Does anyone else have any suggestions? I thought that using ABM would make things simpler in the long term.
My queries therefore are: -
Must I now use Configurator?
Is there an MDM provider in the UK with whom I can deal directly without having to buy their product through a reseller?
Is there somewhere/someone else I could go to for good advice on all this in the UK?
Thanks in anticipation!
